Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS): A Rare Disease with No Approved Therapy An aldehyde trap could be analogous to enzyme replacement therapy *Extrapolating from a Swedish estimate in addition to a US genetic mutation analysis, it is generally assumed that there are approximately 1,000 SLS patients in the United States and a greater number of SLS patients in Europe. Rare disease caused by mutation in Fatty Aldehyde Dehydrogenase, leading to high levels of toxic aldehydes Symptoms include severe skin thickening (ichthyosis), retinal disease, and neurological disorders Present at birth, but no approved therapy that addresses disease; patients survive into 50s Estimated 0.4 births/100,000 = about 1000 patients in US and a greater number in Europe*

No significant adverse events, serious adverse events, or discontinuations in either group Itching was reported in two subjects (33%) in the NS2 treated group Moderate itching in one subject classified as “possibly related to drug” Mild itching in one subject classified as “unlikely related to drug” Overall, NS2 was well tolerated with no safety issues raised for future studies of topical dermatological NS2 NS2 Observed to be Well Tolerated

Slide 14

In summary, this highly controlled clinical trial demonstrated: Clinically meaningful and statistically significant changes with NS2 relative to vehicle on the Ichthyosis Severity Score, as evidenced by moderate disease at baseline reduced to mild disease after 8 weeks of treatment with NS2; Clinical effects that correlated with dermal biomarkers; and, An acceptable safety and tolerability profile for NS2.
